which also includes a pair of Mythos STS in the rear and a Mythos 10 center. I'm driving the front three with a Parasound A31 and the rears with an old Acurus A200 and the current preamp is a Parasound P7. The Reference subs remain. This setup is incredible with multichannel SACD & BluRay music.Speakers are funny. I actually like the sound of the STs better when driven by the Parasound than the VAC, which is how things started. The Mythos line sounds a bit on the warm side. With tubes, I thought they were even a bit dull.
I told my wife that I planned to sell the VAC (could recoup a substantial amount of cash), but I can't motivate myself to do it. Deep down, I want to keep it (even if I have nowhere to use it at the moment). Paired with the right speakers (and who knows what's in the future), it's such a sweet sounding amp and it's a seriously beautiful piece of hardware. For now, it's resting in its shipping container (in the back of the room, along with some other gear).
